And so begins the annual sobbing at ads...

[squiggleirl]

And I'm off....

On a coffee break and I was taking a look at Facebook. Now I'm a mess of tears. I wasn't ready for this. I hadn't even got my Lidl Stollen...

I'm going to need more hankies if this is the way all Christmas ads go...

Yup the Amazon one set me off the other day, and I detest them!

People cry at adverts?

Thanks for that. Now i'm going to have find a tissue. 😁

They just annoy me. Competition to see who can make the most 'moving' advert. It feels so cynical and manipulative of them.

I clearly have a heart of stone. 😁

it didn't make me cry but the Coca Cola ad this year is rather lovely.

I only have internet in this house. No TV. Install uBlock Origin web browser (on phone + laptop). No ads.

I have never cried at an advert. I hate how long the Christmas adverts are too, once you've seen it you don't need to see it again.

I've never cried at a christmas advert in my life.

I don't really understand why they want us to cry at adverts. Not very Christmassy is it? Make us laugh or something.

I still tear up when I hear the music to the Bear and Hare John Lewis advert from 2013

Yes I'd rather see a funny Ad. The mawkish over sentimental ones just make me roll my eyes.

Bit of a tear at the Coca Cola one - DH is working overseas and due home for Christmas, DC and I miss him terribly so that one resonates with me!

newlabelwriter that made me cry too! I think it may be some left over soppiness from the first one, as I was thinking at one point 'ah c'mon', but next thing there were tears.

I'm going to be a wreck!

I think the Supervalu one made me cry because they were talking on the radio this morning about whether or not we'll be at Level 2 or 3 for Christmas. My parents are planning on coming to us for Christmas, but as they live in another county, we need to be at Level 2 for that to happen. I've spent so much of this year not being able to see my parents. I miss them and my kids miss them. Fingers crossed we're going to be that family waiting for Granny and Grandad to arrive.

OMG just wait till the this years John Lewis ad airs. I've read a couple of feeds about it being super teary this year. One man and his Dog 💔😢

Oh god I feel totally manipulated by these ads because I DO get a lump in my throat but really, it's all about selling us stuff isn't it? And brands.

I love sobbing at a christmas advert. Haha.

I watched the McDonald's one last night which I thought was great. Not a tear jerker though.

If I'm unfortunate enough to see one, I laugh my head off at the manipulative mawkishness.

I love Christmas ads
Although that Coca Cola ad... weren't all his colleagues wondering where he'd gone - "'ere, boss, Brian's fucked off in the dinghy and not come back, he's left us with all the work to do!"

I saw that Supervalu one yesterday and snots and tears here. The Dunnes one annoys me, you'd think they could make another one after some any years.

The one man and his dog video is an amateur charity fundraiser. Good cause.

The video had me in stitches though, not tears. Visual glurge.

You and me both.

I thought the same about the Coca-Cola one Whispers. Just as well that's all the little girl wanted for Christmas, because things are going to be tight now daddy's been fired for stealing a dingy and going AWOL to look for Santa.

Oh, damn you, OP! Just watched the SuperValu one and have wet eyes.

The Disney one set me off.

I’m just disgusted at how much they cost. The John Lewis one with Elton John how much did he get paid?
Surely the spirit of Christmas would be a Christmassy picture with a message saying they have given over inflated salaries to charity.
